Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Owen, All this story is incredible. Won't the MoJ realize its mistakes and eventually cancel this vicious and scandalous contract? What a pity !

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXqqOEctG6w For some reason, British journalists are too dumb and ignorant to grasp the difference between translators and interpretets. I have had nothing but problems with ALS, ever since I first came across them some 6-7 years ago. They really do treat translators and interpreters like & ^%* " £^$. They seem physically unable to do otherwise. The MoJ will try to paper over this mess, and it'll never, ever, ever be their fault. And the taxpayer will pay the bill. > Channel 4 News this evening covered what they described as " Court > translation service in crisis after cost-cutting deal " > > http://www.channel4.com/news/court-translation-service-in-crisis-after-cost-cutt\ ing-deal > > For some reason the focus stayed on Applied Language Solutions itself > rather than Capital who bought them up and - being a large corporate > services company with fingers in many pies - were presumably the reason > why ALS were awarded the contract despite having such apparently limited > resources and a business plan that seems to have been intended to lose > them many of the resources it needed to use. > > Owen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 , This rushing-in where angels fear to tread is precisely what caused chaos when Ken e introduced the NHS internal market under the last Tory government without bothering to do a pilot scheme. I think as a jazz enthusiast he enjoys improvising. Unfortunately it's not the best way to run a health service or a justice system. Sorry, I hadn't spotted that I'd written " Capital " , it should have been " Capita " .

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 You won't get an argument from me. I have been saying for 20 years that the man is a damn fool. Goodness knows why anyone thinks otherwise. > , > > This rushing-in where angels fear to tread is precisely what caused > chaos when Ken e introduced the NHS internal market under the last > Tory government without bothering to do a pilot scheme. > > I think as a jazz enthusiast he enjoys improvising.
